Pennsylvania Drug Possession and distribution Lawyer

CARLISLE, PENNSYLVANIA DRUG LAWYER

If you were charged with a drug related offense in Pennsylvania, the penalties can be severe. Penalties for drug related charges vary in Pennsylvania. The penalties are based on a number of factors including the type of drug and the offense charged. 


The two most common charges are Simple Possession or Possession with the Intent to Distribute. The distinction between the two typically is based on the amount of drugs you had on you at the time of your arrest. If you were charged with Simple Possession,  you may be eligible for a treatment based program instead of incarceration.  Additionally, depending on the county or your criminal history, you may be eligible for Accelerated Rehabilatative Disposition (ARD).  If you are interested in learning more about ARD, click on the "ARD" button at the bottom of this page.


The penalties for Possession with Intent to Distribute are normally much more severe than for simple possession - and therefore, your defense strategy will likely be very different.


There are also many collateral consequences of drug related charges, including potential jail time, fines, difficulty securing future employment, loss of gun ownership rights, and loss of your driver’s license.
